Take that Al Qaeda! I have little difficulty believing Al Qaeda is merely an arm of OPEC, used to terrorize us into gulping down oil. From 9/11 to Madrid to London, note how each incident targetted mass transit. Why take a scary flight when you can drive? Why take the scary train or subway when you can drive your own individual vehicle?
Well, I got onto my scary bike this morning, and nothing happened for the entire 5 mi. from home to work (I recently changed jobs to one in my own sleepy suburb in CT, instead of commuting 20 mi a day to Hartford), except, of course, for a decent cardio workout, a strong whiff of the various enticing scents of fluffy green and flowery flora along portions of the bike path . . . oh yeah, and, saving the world a gallon at a time. So take that you Prius driving gas guzzlers!
